Wanted Dead Or Alive $2000 Cash Reward

There are some web tools that display some findings based on some aspects in your blog. Although the end result may not be accurate or even logic sometimes, it is still fun to play with.

I found this service at JustSayHi that allows you to check your blog to see what reason it is wanted for and how much the cash reward is. I gave it a try a few times and found that although the cash reward remains the same, the reason for it being wanted changes every single time.

The HTML code provided doesn’t seem to work in my blog. Below are screenshots of the wanted poster of all three of my blogs.

WANTED FOR THE PURPOSEFUL HUMPING of an AWESOME MULES’S BUTTOCKS

I swear this is a lie. I have never humped any awesome mule’s buttocks before. In fact, I have never humped any buttocks before. I swear!

I was a little disappointed knowing that I am only wanted for $2000 max. However, I checked with John Chow and John Cow and notice they were wanted for a little less than me. I have no idea what the algorithm is like but who cares? At least I know my blogs are more notorious than theirs.

How much is your blog wanted for?

101 Things You Didn’t Know Your iPhone Can Do

I want to buy an iPhone!

I want to buy an iPhone!

You have probably heard others saying how much they want to buy and iPhone. You may even be one of them. Or you could even be one of the lucky ones to have already owned one.

Anyway, what is an iPhone and what can it do? Just watch the video below for 101 things you didn’t know that your iPhone can do. I was totally amazed by it and almost immediately wanted to get one for myself too. Almost. :-P

In case you haven’t notice, the video is meant to be a joke.

Math Anti-Spam Function Taken One Step Too Far

Spam. Everyone hates spam, unless you are the ones behind it. Many tools and plugins have been developed to fight spam in the past. Some works brilliantly while others may not fair that well.

Math anti-spam function (an example is the Did you pass Math plugin) works by requesting the person commenting to answer a “simple” mathematical question. An example would be “What is the sum of nine and two”. Simple right?

However, I read that some spam tools were able to bypass these math anti-spam functions. I guess that is why some developers have raised the level of complexity by asking more complex math question.

Complex math anti-spam question

Honestly, I read in the past that a blogger stopped using the math anti-spam tool (the one where you sum up two numbers together) because at least one of his readers had problems answering them. The math question above can still be considered as simple to most of us but does this mean that your readers have to be at least of a high school qualification before they can comment in your blog?

What next?

“What is the chemical that is produced by mixing 4ml of X, 2.5g of Y and 10ml of Z?”

What Geeks Do With Old Hardware

When you upgrade your system, what do you do with the old parts? Individuals may just throw them away or store it up until they decide to throw them away some time later. On the other hand, large companies may have dozens or even hundreds of old system lying in the storeroom. What would you do with the old systems if you were one of the staffs in the IT department?

This may not be the longest or the most sophisticated domino effect ever done but it is still one expensive domino effect. If you ever want to try something like this yourself, just make sure you do not use new harddisks.

PlayBoy: My First Referral From BlogRush

Checking my blog stats is something I do daily hourly more than once in an hour. Yeah, I am vain. So what?

Anyway, that is when I noticed a referral link from BlogRush. BlogRush? BlogRush?

BlogRush send first visitor due to PlayBoy title

Yes, BlogRush. I didn’t even think that BlogRush would be sending any traffic into my blog. Well, at least now I know there is at least ONE referral from BlogRush. I wonder if it was because the title contained the word “PlayBoy” that attracted the visitor. My BlogRush stats shows that there are already three referrals. Anyway, who cares? :-)

Will I continue using it? Well, I don’t plan to ditch it out just yet. After all, they said the low click through rate is due to some people “cheating” the system. However, I don’t expect to be getting much traffic from my low traffic blog.
